My wife and I recently stopped at Tequila Modern Mexican for dinner. This is a newer restaurant over in DeSales Corner of East Walnut Hills. It’s a bit upscale for a Mexican restaurant, a trend that seems to be pretty popular these days.

Inside

I ordered the enchiladas fridas which is three fresh tortillas stuffed with chicken, smothered in green tomatillo sauce, garnished with sour cream, onion, and queso fresco, and served with a side of rice and beans ($17).  This was a lot of food and it all was pretty tasty. The sauce was very good and there was a lot of cheese on top to give some balance to the meal.

Enchiladas Fridas

The enchiladas filled an entire plate, so the beans and rice are served separately, which is actually kind of nice, though I would be fine without the side dishes at all. The real star of the meal were the enchiladas.

Rice & Beans

My wife ordered the spinach chicken, served as a bed of vegetables with a chicken breast, spinach, and melted mozzarella on top ($19). She got some tortillas on the side to eat it sort of like you would with fajitas. Again it was a lot of food and the flavor combinations were good.

Spinach Chicken

We also tried their spicy margaritas ($12) which had a spicy rim and fresh jalapeno included. A pretty spicy combination but delicious as well.
